Description

The ELIXIR-STEERS Policy Brief on strategies for enhancing the credit and recognition of research artefacts outlines strategic actions to enhance the credit and recognition of non-traditional research artefacts, such as curated datasets, research software, workflows and training materials, within European research assessment systems. These outputs, essential to Open Science, often remain undervalued in traditional evaluation frameworks. The ELIXIR-STEERS project proposes a coordinated, comprehensive approach that builds on existing infrastructures, supports community-led initiatives and aligns with European priorities, including EOSC and CoARA. The proposed framework aims to foster a more inclusive, transparent and sustainable research ecosystem by recognising the full spectrum of scientific contributions beyond traditional publications. The framework contains life science-relevant examples from ELIXIR Europe but is designed to be domainagnostic and extensible across research areas.
